The iconic Tata Sierra nameplate has made a stunning comeback as a modern five-seat mid-size SUV, launched at an aggressive introductory price of ₹11.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Blending unmistakable retro design cues with contemporary features and powertrains, the new Sierra positions itself as a stylish alternative to the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and its own sibling, the Tata Curvv.

What impressed us most is the bold, upright styling that instantly sets it apart on the road. The vertical LED taillamps, full-width light bar, floating roof, and muscular haunches pay perfect homage to the 1990s original while looking thoroughly modern and premium. Road presence is undeniably strong.

The powertrain lineup is another highlight. Both the 170 PS 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and the 170 PS 2.0-litre Kryotec diesel deliver punchy performance with refined manners. The diesel, in particular, offers effortless highway cruising and surprisingly muted NVH levels, making it the pick for long-distance comfort.

Step inside, and the cabin feels genuinely upmarket for the segment—dual 12.3-inch and 10.25-inch screens, a layered dashboard with soft-touch materials, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a 12-speaker JBL audio system create a premium ambience that outshines most rivals in perceived quality.

However, practicality takes a hit. Boot space is limited to 440 litres—noticeably smaller than key competitors—thanks to the sloping roofline and the full-size spare wheel occupying under-floor storage. Family buyers who regularly travel fully loaded may find this a deal-breaker. Additionally, while the upper dashboard feels plush, some lower plastics and the glossy black centre console attract scratches easily and feel slightly downmarket upon closer inspection.

Overall, the 2025 Tata Sierra successfully revives a legendary name with striking looks, strong performance, and a feature-loaded cabin, even if it sacrifices some everyday usability to achieve that distinctive style. For buyers who value standout design and driving pleasure over maximum luggage room, it’s one of the most exciting launches of the year.
